"Rob and I wanted to let everyone know that we are planning a West Coast Tour from July 1st -11th this year.However, these shows will be much different than the past 10 years that we've toured. We've decided to have some fun and present our songs in a new light. Instead of playing our songs the traditional way by having a backup band play all of our extra parts we thought it would be entertaining and fresh for just the two of us to play live. The idea is to present our music at times in a more broken down manner very similar sounding to how it might be for Rob and I when we're coming up with a song for the very first time. Hopefully, this way we can create a new atmosphere for a familiar song. However as we pick each song from our catalog to play we plan on not limiting ourselves to the same formula over and over. We hope to be creative in how we will approach each song individually. This will at times lend to having other elements underneath the both of us while we are playing.The set that we will be playing will cover songs from all our albums to date, and hopefully some new songs from our upcoming record. We're calling this "Pinback Presents the Rob and Zach Show." This by no means signals the end to how we've toured in the past with a full band. We will always continue to perform that way as well. "Pinback Presents" simply gives us and fans another avenue in which to see and hear all the Pinback songs that Rob and I have written over the years and keeps us in a creative space. We're both very much looking forward to this tour and in the the end we think it will be a lot of fun for everyone."
